Yoruba: An Art of Life: The Bennett-Luther Collection

Yoruba: An Art of Life is a beautifully written and illustrated catalog exploring the rich artistic tradition of the Yoruba of Nigeria and the Benin. Using 50 gorgeous color photographs, the authors examine a variety of Yoruba arts: wood sculptures and masks, costumes, divination equipment, beadwork, and textiles.

This bright and attractive catalog contains the most detailed insight into the Bennett-Luther Collection of Yoruba Art to date, and explains how the Nigerian cults of the Ere Ibeji, Epa, Gelede and Egungun have used art to add an aesthetic dimension to ritual and religious practice.
